Quinte Fishing

First timer to Quinte. Will be there the week of 11/28. Usually fish the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain. Appreciate any general fishing, lure, and boat prep advise. Not looking for GPS locations, general advice to help point me in the good direction to start....hopefully I can figure it out from there. Much appreciated. Thanks - Stanny

Hey, for location, I used YouTube and quinte fall fishing videos. It gives you a good idea in the Bath to Picton area where to fish.

* most of the the late autumn fishing takes place between Sherman's Point and Bath
* majority of folks are trolling bodybaits...either deep divers...or snap weights or lead-core in front of shallow runners...20 to 30 ft is usually the depth you're trying to achieve
* in-line planer boards generally help put more fish in the boat
* popular lures are Reef Runners, Rapala TailDancers, DD Husky Jerks, Bandits, etc...purple is often a hot colour...but experiment..don't be afraid to get crazy with colour
* 1.8 to 2.2 mph is usually where you want to be...but more importantly dial in the speed that gives your lure maximum action
* you can fish 2 lines per person if you're east of the Glenora ferry
* bring a shovel and a bag of salt (or traction aids)...the ramps can get icey
* be respectful of other folks on the water...it can get busy
* carefully release the big girls so we can all continue to enjoy this fishery in years to come

It's that simple...

You are one VERY lucky Guy, Stanny - Crowman covered everything you need!

AND... you have a week to look for more Stuff!

Also pay attention to the Salt 'n Shovel part... things get REAL slippy at this point!

Pretty excited.
The lund is loading, heading to camp in northern NY this afternoon, enjoying a family day on Thursday, and off to Quinte on Friday for a week.
Thanks - Stanny
